We shot a lot of video last night during the All-For-Nots set. This is our favorite: a drum solo, by Shirley/Erica followed by an encore. Love your drummer folks, love your drummers.
We've put the day's photos in a nifty slideshow. We'll be adding more tonight at the All-For-Nots event at 92Y Tribeca. Be sure to come by and say hello.
Chris Anderson just delivered a great keynote that focused on building online communities. Check out the coverage on the Mediabistro Circus Twitter Page.

Former mediabistro intern Julia Allison returns her roots with pals Meghan Asha and Mary Rambin. Um, we said bring us coffee, not doggies. Thanks anyway, Julia!
More fun photos and conference coverage on Meghan's blog.
Staff and volunteers at the Circus are wearing cool T-shirts featuring a circus parade by Michigan artist Yolanda Gonzalez. If you've been on the mediabistro site recently, you've seen Yolanda's spindly critters crawling across our banner ads.
Yolanda is a natural at parades--check her out riding atop a "poster artist car":
The other day we did a routine scan of the Twitterscape with the keyword "mediabistro" and discovered Alana Taylor, an undergrad journalism major at NYU. We then had a look at her blog, which to our delight is pretty web 2.0 intensive, both in content and in the tools she uses to communicate with her audience. Plus she blogs a lot about Twitter and Julia Allison, so she's already impressing the hell out of us.
She's even lifestreaming on the streets of New York (and dropping names like Mediabistro Circus speaker Robert Scoble):
Then we came across a widget she embedded into one of her recent blog posts:
Pretty endearing huh? We know you're tearing up. We're pulling for Alana, because after perusing her blog and seeing how she uses technology, she pretty much represents the media pro of the future, in all her blogging, Twittering, lifestreaming glory.
So if you're feeling generous, help the girl out. We'd love to see her at the Circus, rubbing elbows with Scoble and the rest of us.
Social media fever (and dance fever) has been catching at mediabistro.com for a while now. It's one of the focuses Mediabistro Circus. And now, we have "the" authority on the happenings in the land of social networking as a media sponsor, Mashable.com
We came across this very funny video put together by the folks at Revision3, which is run by Mediabistro Circus speaker Jim Louderback. We love tech hipsters, and we love INXS, so this was awesome on all accounts. Check it out:
